Abstract

Three cases of malignant lesions in the infratemporal fossa are presented to illustrate the insidious nature of the symptoms, the delay in diagnosis and the difficulty in both diagnosis and treatment. Attention is drawn to the deficiencies in diagnostic radiology in this area, and to the possible surgical approaches for diagnosis, assessment and excision.
